Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__TS-E90mm f/2.8__1.5 sec at f / 13__ISO 100
I am posting one of the waterfall photographs that I took on Mother’s Day in Yosemite. It was raining as I photographed. Using my Tilt Shift lens, I exposed three frames that I later stitched together using Photoshop CS5. You might also enjoy seeing other panos in my Panoramic Portfolio on my web site.
This weekend, I photographed my irises and fields of lupine. Hope to post some of them soon!
Cheers,
Bill

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__TS-E90mm f/2.8__1/180 sec at f / 2.8__ISO 400
New photo! I made this image yesterday evening. My purple plums are just started blooming, so out comes the camera! I used my Canon 90mm TS lens with two Canon 2x extenders. It’s a bit like have a Lensbaby, and I could play around with focus point and blurring the background. The image was made from two exposures blended – one “sharp” and the other complete soft focus.
Enjoy! Bill

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__TS-E24mm f/3.5L__1/180 sec at f / 16__ISO 100
Yesterday we had a wonderful morning of fog after the night’s rain storm. I have driven by this location many times in the past, made note of its potential, and finally got myself over there after the morning’s usual parental duties! Unfortunately, I started out with the wrong lens so I lost some good light making the short dash back to my vehicle to grab my Canon 24mm Tilt Shift lens. Happily, the fog was still great as I exposed this image. The lens was shifted up to near its highest position to maintain proper perspective and avoid convergence of the trees. Also, I positioned the sun so that it was mostly blocked by the tree, with just a tiny bit of light showing through my viewfinder.
Enjoy! Bill

Agave, Island of Maui • Wista SP4x5 Field Camera
I am posting the color rendition of my Agave, Hawaii photograph. I am very pleased with both versions.
Do you prefer one over the other? I am leaning towards the BW version, but still love the rich color and strong contrasting lines seen here.
Enjoy! Bill

Agave, Island of Maui, Hawaii
Here is a newly scanned 4×5 image of an agave taken on Maui in 1994. We are working on both color and BW versions, and found many compelling directions. Thanks to John O’Connor for the great scanning and PS work. Stay tuned for more variations. I think that there is an article to write about exploring many options with one image.
Thanks for joining me here,
Bill
